LOBSTER AND GREEN CHILE BISQUE WITH TOASTED CORN RELISH
Steps:
- Heat butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, celery, and garlic and cook until soft. Do not allow them to obtain color.
- Plunge a knife between the eyes of the lobsters to dispatch them. Then split them in half lengthwise, and remove the sand sack. Separate into tail, claw, and chest pieces and add the sections to the vegetables. Add 1/2-cup water and cover the pan with a lid for 4 minutes. Remove lid and allow the water to evaporate, then turn off the heat. Remove the lobster pieces from the pan and set aside. When cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the tails and claws, and reserve the meat.
- Chop the shells into smaller pieces and return to the pan. Add the sherry and ignite. When the flames subside, add the wine and reduce by half. Add the water, parsley, cilantro, bay leaf, white peppercorns, poblano puree, and salt, to taste and cook over low heat for 20 minutes.
- Remove most of the shells and pass the soup through a sieve into a clean medium saucepan, add the reserved lobster meat and cook until reduced to 2 cups. Blend the soup in a blender in batches then strain through a sieve into a clean, medium saucepan over medium low heat. Place the cream and milk in a small saucepan and reduce by half. Add the cream and cook until just heated through and season with honey, salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and garnish with Toasted Corn Relish.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Preheat grill to high. Remove ears from water. Roast corn for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and grill in the husk for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Peel the husk away, and cut corn away from the cob. Combine the corn kernels in a medium bowl with the red onion, roasted poblano, lime juice, olive oil, and tarragon. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Steps:
- Melt butter and olive oil in a stock pot over medium heat; add celery, garlic, onions, shallots, salt, and cayenne pepper.
- Cook and stir for 5 minutes to release juices and soften vegetables - make sure garlic doesn't brown or the flavor may be bitter.
- In a blender, add Marsala wine, lobster base, and 1 cup of the water; and blend.
- Add the sauteed vegetables to the blender and puree until smooth.
- Pour blender contents back into stock pot, and add remaining 2 1/2 cups water, bay leaves, and corn.
- Bring to a boil.
- Add the cream and half and half, and simmer for 20-30 minutes - try to keep it from boiling; you want a gentle simmer.
- Add green onions and lobster/crab meat, and simmer for 10 more minutes.
- Serve with oyster crackers and enjoy.
- I will put this in a 6 quart crock pot to bring it to soup parties or potlucks.

Tips:
- Use fresh corn and lobster. The fresher the ingredients, the better the bisque will taste. If you can't find fresh corn, you can use frozen corn, but thaw it completely before using.
- Don't overcook the corn or lobster. Overcooked corn and lobster will be tough and chewy. Cook the corn for just a few minutes, until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Cook the lobster for 5-7 minutes, or until it is cooked through but still tender.
- Use a good quality seafood stock. The seafood stock is the base of the bisque, so it's important to use a good quality stock. You can make your own seafood stock, or you can buy a good quality store-bought stock.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. You can add different herbs, spices, and vegetables to the bisque to create a unique flavor profile. Some popular additions include thyme, basil, tarragon, paprika, and red pepper flakes.
- Serve the bisque with a garnish. A simple garnish can add a touch of elegance to the bisque. Some popular garnishes include chopped parsley, chives, or croutons.
Conclusion:
Corn lobster bisque is a delicious and elegant soup that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little bit of effort, you can create a bisque that will impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
